Black female travel bloggers
As a black blogger in a travel and lifestyle niche, I wanted to highlight some of the best black travel bloggers so you can diversify your content.
I love supporting other entrepreneurs, and you will see me do it across all my other blogs.
I believe that black bloggers are not supported enough in the industry, and I will do my best to highlight them as much as I can.
The travel industry definitely lacks diversity and by highlighting the best in the industry, we will only move forward.
